Överöronhörlurar

Överöronhörlurar, often translated as over-ear headphones, are a type of personal audio device characterized by earcups that completely enclose the user's ears. This design creates a seal, which can help to isolate the listener from ambient noise and provide a more immersive audio experience. The earcups typically rest on the head, supported by a headband that passes over the top of the skull.

The drivers, the components responsible for producing sound, are housed within the earcups. The size and placement of these drivers can vary significantly between models, influencing the sound quality and frequency response. Over-ear headphones are generally considered to offer superior comfort for extended listening sessions compared to in-ear or on-ear models, due to the distribution of weight and the cushioning provided by the earcups.

They come in various forms, including open-back and closed-back designs. Open-back headphones allow air and sound to pass through the earcups, resulting in a more natural and spacious soundstage, but they also leak sound and offer less noise isolation. Closed-back headphones are sealed, providing better noise isolation and preventing sound leakage, making them suitable for noisy environments or recording situations.

Over-ear headphones are popular among audiophiles, music producers, gamers, and anyone seeking high-fidelity audio reproduction or effective noise isolation. They are available across a wide range of price points, from budget-friendly options to high-end professional and consumer models.
